Road-Rail vehicle

Road-Rail vehicles

Bemo Rail has been designing and producing shunting vehicles since the 1980s. A road-rail vehicle, also called a two-way vehicle, is a shunting locomotive that can switch between driving on rails and driving on the road. This comes in handy when there are several tracks on an industrial site and there are no connections between them, or when the connection is far from the place of work and moving by road is faster.

Bemo Rail designs and manufactures your rail-road vehicle entirely on its own account and with first-class components.

This safe, modern, and user-friendly locomotive can be made in many versions. The rail-road vehicle is assembled from our standard components. Because of this modular construction, many variations in capacity, speed and traction are possible.

We can, of course, provide you with tailor-made advice without any obligation. Please contact us to discuss the possibilities.

See below for the technical possibilities.

Shunting

Continuously variable speed control from “0
Very smooth start off with particularly favourable slip limit because of absence of peak forces.

Operation

Standard Bemo locomotive control, specifically designed for use under heavy-duty
Trembling- and temperature-resistant
Manually and/or radio remote controlled, if required with explosion proof encapsulation.
Accelerating and braking according to fixed curves, as a result of which:
- Always very steady behaviour (reaction) of the rail shunter
- Incorrect control is virtually impossible.
- Consequently any operator can work with the rail shunter.

Environmental and health and safety legislation

Limited noise level
Very low fuel consumption
Clean diesel engines
Electric or hybrid drive
Ergonomic accessibility for operation and service

Safety

Emergency buttons on all corners of the machine, especially in combination with radio remote control.
Integration of gas detection into the control unit, when used in Ex-zones (optional)
Security by means of additional proximity/reflection switches (optional)
Excellent overview from the cabin

Control

All shunting operations can be carried out by one operator
Easy to operate control system
Clear graphic display for operating status and maintenance (HMI /GUI)

Mechanics

High quality components are installed as standard, such as A-class engines.
Overall sprung axle suspension with fully closed reductors, resulting in:
1. Reducing damage to switches
2. Reducing the risk of derailment
Long technical lifetime
Short delivery times on parts

Maintenance

Easily accessible, no special lubrication pit required
Daily maintenance can be performed by in-house technical service
Intervals are set up as optimally as possible, depending on the application

Shunting couplers

All types of shunting couplers
All associated adapters
Automatic or non-automatic

Pneumatic installations

Equipped with pneumatic installation for (wagon) brakes.
For the control of various components.
Compressor output, tank capacity and version are selected according to the use of the locomotive.

Track gauge

Standard track gauge of 1435 mm
Wide and narrow gauge possible
Applicable worldwide

Locomotive range

Bemo Rail offers various types of shunting vehicles, view the locomotive range of our vehicles. Thanks to our in-house engineering department, a fully equipped workshop and the necessary knowledge of rails and wagons, the possibilities are numerous.

For example, you can choose from various drive options such as hydrostatic or hydrodynamic drive with diesel engine, or an electric or hybrid drive. The locomotive can be operated manually, but also by remote control. Our shunting locomotives can be built with a power of 10kN to 300kN and have a tensile strength varying from 50 to 4800 tons.

In addition to our standard models, we also offer customized shunting solutions.
